The Sport World With Local
Color Dished Time to Time
It is not often afforded the fans of
any city, no matter how large, to see
the ball games Americus will see dur
ing the Elks’ convention, when the
warriors of Auburn tackle the Baptists
. from Macon. Advance dope seems to
point to a victory for the Alabama boys
! but if there is any such animal as re
■; liable dope in a college baseball game,
we would enjoy seeing it. That sight
will never come, because there is no
‘such creature. College men when they
hit the diamond, are eager for honors,
and they’re going to get them if the re
gion of which Dante told about freezes
over.
Dope in this series of games will
count for nothing-. Everything that
has been said of Auburn’s sluggers can '
be off-set by some feature of Mercer’s,
|work. ’Tis said that Auburn possesses (
the best pitcher in the South in
Suggs, but nothing has been said of J
Mercer’s freshman twirler, Ashby
Fuss. People who are willing to back
Auburn seem to think that Suggs is
simply the whole cheese. They make
their assertion on the fact that Suggs
won from, the University of Georgia
team and did not seein to lealize that
in the Mercer-Georgia game, this same
Ashby Fuss gave the Georgians only
one hit, and that was a measly little
Texas leaguer. It is true that Auburn
defeated Tech, while Mercer went
down in defeat to the same club. But
that is no certainty that Mercer will
not be able to hold her own when the
games are called in Americus.
Whether Mercer wins or loses, the
fans of the surrounding country will
see some of the best games ever play
ed anywhere. And while the dope
points to Auburn, the supporters of
Mercer are willing to bank their last ;
wheel on the Macon university. It is
believed that the Mercer pitchers will
be able to offset any advantage the i
Auburn men might have in batting. It
will be a masters’ struggle, sure
enough, if Fuss and Suggs tie up for
one of the games.
"UNCLE JIM" IS "GUSSIN”
WHILE HIS OPPONENTS LWGH
ATLANTA, Ga.„ April 22.—’•Uncle
Jim” Woodward's attempt to withhold
payment of the $135,000 balance due on
Atlanta’s famous crematory has fur
nished a lot of copy for the newspa
pers and cost the city of Atlanta $50,-1
COO or more, as the company erecting'
the plant has won its case before
Judge W, T. Newman of the United
Slates district court, and the city must
not only pay the principal sum unpaid,
but also pay 7 per cent, interest on
this amount for a year and a half, pay
the company for operating the plant
since it was built, and pay the costs of
the litigation, which will be several
thousand dollars,
“Uncle Jim’s” political opponents are
enjoying a lound resounding laugh at
his expense, and “Uncle Jim” is cuss
ing and vowing the city will fight the
case all the way to the United States
supreme court, and then some, before
it will ever pay,
NOTHING FOUND IN
TRUNKS OF INKS
ATLANTA, Ga., April 22. —Nothing
i
has been found in the trunks of Victor
E Innes and his wife, in jail here,
awaiting trial for larceny after trust
in cinneetion with the mysterious dis
appearance of the Nelms sisters, to
connect them with the sisters after
they left Atlanta on the trip from
| which they never returned.
I The reported finding of clothing of
I the sisters in the trunks of Innes and
his wife was completely exploded fate
■yesterday when Mrs. Mary Ellis, the
dressmaker reported to have identified
certain dresses and other articles ot
wearing apparel, declared she was sor
ry she ever got mixed up in the affair,
ard then left the city.
Mrs. Ellis' sudden notion to take her
departure was the result of a message
from Solicitor Hugh Dorsey, who is
Americus people might think that
High school baseball is not good
enough to satisfy their love for the na
tional pastime, but if they had witness
ed the game Friday between the Amer
icus High school and the Columbus In
dustrials, their opinion would have
changed all around. These young
sters went after the old ball game like'
big leaguers, and the score, 1 to 0, is
proof enough that the few people pres
ent received their money’s worth.
Johnson struck out seventeen of the
Columbus boys, and if that is not evi
dence enough that the game was a
good one, there is one other thing left:
The game was played in one hour an I
five minutes. Now, where can better
' ball be found anywhere? The locals
have the best team in their history and
they deserve the unstinted support of
the fans of the city. It is a matter o'
' great expense to bring visiting teams
here; that is, the teams who have an
established reputation, and those are
the only ones that local management
feels inclined to bring to Americus. It
has always been true that Americus
loves a winner. Then let’s support
these High school boys who have a
team worthy the support of any city.
If the fans of Americus only do their
share, the Americus High school team
will spread the fame of the city
throughout the whole state.
The championship of the S. I. A. A.
seems to rest between Mercer and Au
burn, and Americus will be given the
opportunity to witness the struggle of
the giants. This is not often afforded
a city of Americus’ size and the fact'
should be appreciated by all fans of;
the city. It is going to be expensive
to the management of the two teams,
and if everybody turns out and swells
the gate receipts, it will be a very
good advertisement to the city. Be
sides the games will be the best played
in the South this year, and we should
all go to see the contests. Let the
motto be: “Be seeing you at the ball
games."
prosecuting the Innes, asking her to
come to his office, presumably to tell
what she knew about the contents of
the Innes' trunks.
Mrs. John M. Nelms, mother of the
missing girls, yesterday admitted that
there had been no positive identifica
tion of anything in the Innes’ trunks
as belonging to her daughters.

CATCH MAILS WITHOUT
GLOCK 00 THE CLERKS
I ATLANTA, Auril 22.—1 tis a mys-
Aery how the clerks in the Atlanta
I postoffice catch the trains with out
going mail. They must be so well
trained that they know the time of day
by instinct, like fire horses know when
they are going to be fed and paw the
floor, or like farmer’s mules know
when the dinner bell ought to ring
and refuse to plow another furrow.
For the clocks in the Atlanta federal
building only run when an expert
from the factory comes all the way to
Atlanta to examine the works of the
master clock in the basement. This
clock runs all the clocks in the build
ing, or is supposed to run them. But
the custodian says the master clock
is a regular snare and a delusion.
“Dead again," he reported yesterday,
just 24 hours after the factory expert
had greased the machinery and caught
a train back to the factory.

SALE OF GRAND OPERA
TICKETS ATTEST PROSPERITY
ATLANTA, Ga., April 22.—A return
of prosperity to Atlanta, to Georgia!
and to neighboring states is attested
by the large sale of tickets to the
week of grand opera in Atlanta next
Monday night. Comparisons of re
ceipts in past seasons show that the !
sale of tickets has always reflected the'
status of the public purse. In pros-'
perous years the receipts have been
heavy, while in lean years, the ticket'
sale has fallen off. There has never
been a season, however, when the re
ceipts were not more than sufficient to
cover the guarantee fund pledged by'
citizens of Atlanta.
The seventh annual season will open '
Monday night with “Samson and Del
ilah,” the famous opera written around
the story of Samson and Delilah in the
Fible. Among the stars in the Metro
politan who will sing in various roles
. are Farrar, Caruso, Alda, aßrrientos,
Scotti and others. Atanta is preparing
for a week of great musical enjoyment i
and social gayety, with thousands of
visitors in the city and a continuous 1
I round of functions.

DANGER OF FIRES
SHEJOOGHT OUT
ATLANTA, Ga., April 22.—-Electric
light bulbs attached to long wornout
cords and left burning in places
where paper and trash may set fire anj'
moment by the heat of the burning
bulb, piles of rags swept behind base
ment doors and allowed to stay there
until spontaneous combustion is likely
to start from decay, matches scattered
promiscuously in dark corners, furn
aces fired carelessly and gas jets kept
burning all hours of the night—these
and many other flagrant instances of
carelessness and neglect have teen
exposed by Fire Chief Cody of Atlanta
in a thorough inspection of the Geor
gia state capitol, following two fires
within ten days that threatened the
destruction of the building.
The people of Georgia need not
be surprised, according to the fire
chief, to wake up most any morning
and read in the newspapers that their
state capitol and all of its contents
have gone up in smoke.
The legislature has provided for
the issuance of only meager insurance
on the building, has provided none of
the ordinary safe-guards against fire
that building laws require in every
city and has not even made an appro
priation to employ a watchman to
make his rounds of the building at
night. The capitol is simply locked
up and left alone at night, as a man
n ight lock a worthless out house, and
everybody trusts to luck that it won't
catch fire. That it has not burned is
a marvel.
HJTTIE MM SAID HE
Dlb. COURT SAID NO
Hattie May Armstrong, an ebony
reed damsel of the most notorious
kind, will have to stand trial for ly
ing, or in legal lore, perjury. It was so
decided by Judge McMath at a trial be
fore him Friday afternoon.
Hattie had been the means of having
a warrant issued for Walter Mathis, of
ebony hue also, charging him with
being a most disorderly “pusson.” The
evidence against him, however, was
not sufficient to hold, but on the other
hand was so strong that Hattie May
lied, that she roust now stand trial for
doing so.
